  • Ask about acquisition administration fees

    Association-published

    Bylaw 3.6(c) provides for a Board-set administration charge within thirty days of title acquisition. Its current amount is not verified.

  • Confirm payment instructions before sending money

Confirm this organization’s own membership, fees and services in the source-linked explanation below.

CRCA provides a separate recreation membership for its centre and programs. Paying DLOA property dues does not establish a CRCA booking, membership or skating entitlement.

Common misconception

Limits of the association’s role

  • The municipal boat-launch permit and CRCA recreation membership have separate charges and conditions.
  • Stormwater ponds serve drainage and water treatment; the City says they are not recreation areas.
